How will W's lunatic fringe base react when he leaves office?
Nothing would surprise me at this point. Mass suicides, assassination attempts on the incoming president. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if the freepers carried out a terra attack of their own just so Bush would have an excuse to declare himself dictator for life.

2. They are a pathetic bunch of human beings aren't they?
Voting against their own interests, waving flags instead of enlisting to fight in a war they so cherish, believing the lies of a drug addicted deserter; sitting all afternoon looking at a radio with spittle dribbling down their chins as they are told what and how to think. I think the mass suicides would be very newsworthy, maybe they'll leave a mass note. Do you think faux would cover the events?

4. So long as their world is not turned upside down...
They will probably continue to snooze...freeper boards will fill up and while you may be right about Dic-Tator for life...that is a whole other message board and not worthy of DU...;-)

No Fear.

11. I agree. Suicide would be too much of a hinderance to their lifestyle
They'd rather turn their violence on others.

9. The 101st Fighting Keyboarders will all start posting
apocalyptic nonsense about what's going to happen now that ShrubCo is no longer in control and about how we still need to nuke the Middle East no matter what those dirty liberals say.

18. Once Bush is out of office, and thus out of "power"..
Edited on Thu Sep-27-07 03:01 PM by Virginia Dare
I suspect even his lunatic fringe will fade away. He'll go back to being a nothing and a nobody. Bill Clinton and his father will overshadow him in every regard.

I suspect he'll be an even more sad and pathetic figure than Nixon was.

19. yes -- this is a man who fantasizes about being bored ...
And he will continue to nurse his grudge against Clinton (especially jealous that Clinton and Bush Sr. hang out together ... he probably thinks they are talking about him!)

http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,,2161205,00.html


"I can just envision getting in the car, getting bored, going down to the ranch," he says. He also has big plans for making money. "I'll give some speeches, to replenish the ol' coffers," says Mr Bush, who is already estimated to be worth $20m. "I don't know what my dad gets - it's more than 50-75 , and "Clinton's making a lot of money".

22. There's his delusion talking again..
he actually thinks he will get that kind of money on the speaking circuit. This is the same man who said "children's do learn" just the other day. Yah, I'm sure people will be lining up to hear his "words of wisdom"..:eyes:
